This crisp and tart sorbet is an excellent palate cleanser and a perfect way to end a feast. I made this originally as part of a Rosh Hashanah spread, but it now also appears on my Thanksgiving table and any time there's a celebration while apples are at their best. No ice cream maker necessary this works just as well as a granita.

You Need

6-8 servings
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 250ml water
  • 500ml cold pressed apple juice from approximately 1kg apples
  • 125ml lemon juice from approximately 6 lemons
  • pinch of salt
  • How To

    1. Combine the sugar and the water in a small saucepan on a medium heat. Warm through until the sugar dissolves completely. Allow to cool to make sugar syrup.
    2. Juice the apples, preferably with their skin both for speed and as the skin adds a lot of flavor.
    3. Combine 250ml cooled sugar syrup, the apple juice, and lemon juice. Chill mixture, stir together one more time and churn according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
    4. If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the apple mixture into a glass or plastic freezer safe container around 20 x 30cm and cover with a lid or cling film.
    5. Leave to set for 1-2 hours and then stir through with a fork creating crystals. Repeat the stirring/scraping with a fork twice more at one hour intervals until frozen into apple-colored snow.
    6. Scoop into glasses or bowls and serve.
